Me 9-year old son loved this game so much!!When he was done playing all the’chapters’to the game he said he wanted to play it again!
Very good for my kids! They play for hours. Downside is that it is a bit repetitive after a while and the crooks will not be ‘smashed’ even when they are smashed sometimes (words from my kids). Well worth the money and recommended!
There have been a great number of Transformers games over the years, some, such as the ‘War for/Fall of Cybertron’ series, or the ‘Transformers: Armada’ game back on the PS1 were pretty good, others, such as anything associated with the Michael Bay movies, were pretty dreadful. What there hasn’t been however in more than 30 years of Transformers is a game that really reproduced the style and tone of the early ‘Generation 1’ animated series. The wait for such a game, I am glad to announce, is finally over!Based directly on the cartoon that debuted way back in 1984, ‘Transformers Devastation’ hits all of the key-notes of that series. The story involves a nefarious plot by the maniacal Megatron to ‘cyberform’ the planet Earth in order to transform it into a metallic planet much like the Transformers home world Cybertron – with lethal consequences for its human inhabitants of course.You take the role of the heroic Autobots, charged with the task of stopping Megatron, and to this end you take control of five different Autobots – leader Optimus Prime, Dinobot Grimlock, crack-pot inventor Wheeljack, hot-headed warrior Sideswipe, and the physically weak but immensly brave Bumblebee. Each Autobot is distinctly different enough to give you a valid reason to dedicate plenty of game-time to each of them, whilst not being so distinctive that you have to completely re learn the controls every time you change character. Grimlock is a classic brawler, Bumblebee is weak but uses his evasive ability to hit and run, Sideswipe uses speed to his advantage, Wheeljack uses gagets and inventions to win the day, and Optimus probably straddles the line between the various styles.Graphically the game is an excellent, almost perfect recreation of the Generation 1 animated series. Each character looks every bit the picture of their animated counterparts. Each carries their signature weapons – such as Primes Ion blaster and energon axe, or Sidewipes flamethrower – and transformation sequences are brilliantly done. On the downside terrain and backgrounds are somewhat basic in design, but its a trifling complaint.The game also nails the sound effects. Producers Platinum Games have gone to lengths to secure the services of a number of the cartoons original voice cast, such as Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime), Dan Gilvezen (Bumblebee), Michael Bell (Sideswipe, Scrapper), Greg Berger (Grimlock, Long Haul) and Frank Welker (Megatron, Soundwave). Music is provided by Vince Dicola – who did most of the instrumental scores for the Transformers animated movie (although the theme tune for the game leaves a lot to be desired and could have really benefited from some version of the original theme tune) – and the game nails the sound effects of Transformation, blasters, explosions etc.In terms of game play the game is basically on rails and is comprised of moving down a number of corridor-like city streets where there is a degree of light exploration in order to discover new weapons, collectibles and pick-ups. There are also the occasional tips of the hat to the animated cartoon located around the game (keep your eyes open early on for a certain tiny electrical menace from the animated series!) You then reach what are essentially a number of ‘arenas’ where you must combat a series of enemies. Usually these are Decepticon ‘warriors’ – generally ground based robots that can transform into cars and have the appearance of the ‘Cons Runabout and Runamuck, or flying ‘seeker’ style warriors that have the appearance of the likes of Dirge, Ramjet and Thrust. There are also other generic enemies, such as a ‘Sergeant’ who can provide boosts to other ‘cons, or ‘massive ‘brute’ style enemies.The real pay off however is when you periodically meet one of the big-name Decepticons in combat. This is pretty much a who’s-who of the Generation 1 Decepticon roster, including Starscream, Skywarp, Thundercracker, the Inscecticons, Soundwave (and several of his casettes), the Constructicons (individually and in their combined form of Devastator), the Stunticons, Blitzwing, Shockwave, and of course Megatron.What Transformers:Devastation really excels at is how it incorporates transformation into every aspect of game. You can transform at will at any point, but transformation is central – in fact essential for success – in combat with most combinations ending with you transforming to ram, smash or crush your enemies. Failing to make the best of both of your modes will almost definately lead to failure. The Decepticons pleasingly have the same ability which makes for some interesting duels, and even bog-standard foes have a habit of transforming in order to try a different avenue of attack when you least expect it. It is truly the first Transformers game to make transformation absolutely crucial to how it is played.There are some sections of the game that seek to mix things up a little, including racing sections (such as one in which you must pursue Megatron fleeing on the back of Long Haul whilst he throws energon cubes into you path to try and stop you), and 2D side-scrolling sections (including one in which you have to pursue Blitzwing across a bridge, trying to bring his jet mode down whilst avoiding obsticles and leaping gaps). These sections in fairness do not always work, and some of them can be unnecessary distractions, but for the most part they do add an extra dimension.Between missions you can visit the Ark (the Autobots crashed spaceship and home). Here you can use Autobot inventor and scientist Wheeljack to combine the various items of loot you have collected during you missions into even more potent boosts for your characters. This is done in a mini game with a familiar ‘swing-o-meter’ in which you must stop the moving bar in the sweet-spot to get the best result. You can buy and sell weapons from the store, or ‘synthesize’ weapons by combining them to create a better one. Sadly this is the part of the game that fails the worst, mainly due to the fact that out of the ten to twenty or so weapons you might pick up in a level, the chances of finding one better than the one you are already using is slim, and combining weapons in the lab pretty much seems like a crap-shoot.Apart from this there is very little wrong with the game. For sure it would have been nice to have a bigger roster of playable characters – with Autobots like Jazz, Trailbreaker, Hound and Mirage having abilities that seem tailor made for a game of this sort – and with no sign of additional characters set to become available as DLC – apart from new skins that let you play as Red Alert, Goldbug and Nemesis Prime (but really, who cares about any of them?) – this is a bit of a let down. The game is also very short – about five or six hours – and with pretty much nothing in terms of additional play modes theres not much reason to come back once you complete it.Overall however this is the game that every Generation 1 fan has dreamt of, and if successful I can imagine that the franchise will correct what little mistakes it made here and will only go on to bigger and better things in light of the massive number of characters and library of source material available to its producers.

Not a bad game fans will like it
top game
really simple great game with gorgeous graphics and great gameplay, you can button mash your way through it if you wish and love the way the game plays out.it does get a bit “same-y” after a while, but i really enjoyed it. it takes you back to the 80- early 90’s hayday of gaming, where you can just sit back, switch off and enjoy.
